    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Here a link to the std rings set on partsoutlaw:

http://www.partsoutlaw.com/oemparts/p/suzuki/12140-49001/piston-ring-set-std

Remember to use the promo code BANG to get $1 shipping.

But that link says OS:1.0. I don't think anything has been cleared up here. According to the diagram the STD has nothing after the part number, the .5 has -050, the 100 supposedly has a different number to supersede the original with -100
Here are some aftermarket ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-SUZ...S-4-SETS-NEW-STD-SIZE-R15240-00-/162163907291
 
Check the AlphaSports website. I just looked and they show the standard ring 12140-49001 as being available as well as the 12140-49001-100. The price is different for each set and the -100 PN does sub to the part that the OP received so maybe they are available. Pretty messed situation for sure. Funny just checked Babbit's and it comes up with the exact same screens as PartsOutlaw. Did one buy out the other, did they merge or are they just using the same flawed software.

The description is meaningless since that same part number is used for more than one model. STD size rings for one model can be OS for a different model.

PN 12140-49001 is correct for STD rings for the GS1000.

Partzilla has sent a return label and will ship another set of rings - I asked about the P/N of the new set and they gave me the same number as the original: 12140-44110(!)

I guess we'll see if the original P/N was actually mis-packed or if Partzilla is making the same mistake twice - stay tuned!

BTW: the "BANG" code just worked for $1.50 shipping on my order from PartsOutlaw.com - thanks for posting that!

UPDATE: Called PartsOutlaw and talked to Kelly, who was very helpful about drilling through the misinformation on their website - turns out the 12140-49001 IS the correct P/N for standard rings as others have said (and it is in stock at Suzuki BTW), but the description of this P/N is wrong on the PartsOutlaw website as well as every other website that shows this part!

It is described as STD in the part listing (fiche view), but when you click the link to view the part description, it shows as 1.0 OS. It looks like they all subscribe to the same database and all of them have the same error!

So, to put this to rest - if you need STD rings for a GS1000, order the 12140-49001. If you need 1.0 OS, order the 12140-44110!
 
I just got burned by this as well. Now I have to get bike bandit to take back a 38 dollar set of rings I opened and discovered they are for 1.0 oversize.

I'll be able to return the other 3 sets at least
